Lettuce 'Speckled Trout'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Speckled Trout is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Speckled Trout needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.8 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.49 inches (1.25 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Speckled Trout about 53 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Speckled Trout is a tender plant.
